Say, the Councillors in Sheffield could get replaced if they are rubbish and be re-elected if needed. The can of worms it would open would be horrendous.  Thatcher would have been gone in the early eighties if the same law applied..................................................................hang on maybe its a good idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Lickszz   10 #3 Posted August 11, 2003 If anyone did try to bring this law in here, the Labour spin machine would go into overdrive, they would hide behind; the cost of fitting revolving doors to the chamber would be too expensive, and it breaches conservation laws for a listed building and world heritage sight.  Just think of the nail marks in the expensive wallpaper as they are dragged out kicking and screaming.
